Thanks to the easy access to the body biometric data, people
are encouraged to live healthier. The next development is the demand of medical
device that can help consumers to maintain the family's health.
According to Inder Singh and Kinsa team, parents always have
a worry if their children get a fever. To reduce this panic, they reveal the
Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer, a clever thermometer that has a capability to
recognize and remember the symptoms of the disease; it's presented with a
simple method of operation.
Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer can measure the body temperature
simply by pressing a button and then put the tip in the ear for one second. It
will give a highly accurate result; you can see it directly on the LCD screen.
The Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer brings an ergonomic design that's combined with
high performance hardware, so you can use it even when the baby is sleeping
without disturbing him.
The most interesting features of Kinsa are the Bluetooth 4.0
BLE connection and the support of its companion application. This smart
thermometer will be automatically synchronized to your mobile device, update
the information dynamically, remind the time, track symptoms, and even remind
you when you have to give the medicine to different family members via profile
settings. The data can also be used as a reference when you bring your children
to doctor.
Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer not only presents the numbers.
The companion application also serves to give instructions, with the guidance
of medical experts in real-time, based on age, symptoms, and signs of fever. To
access the info, you just need to tap the screen once. The thermometer itself
is actually able to work with or without connecting to the handset.
Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer can store up to 50 body
temperature readings; it just needs a pair of AAA batteries to be active for
approximately two years (or 1,000 times measurements). Its dimension is about
15 × 2.5 × 4.5-cm with a total weight of 81.3 grams. Keep in mind, though this
thermometer has a waterproof feature, but it is not watertight, so for cleaning
it's suggested to use alcohol.
If you are interested, you can order the Kinsa Smart EarThermometer through crowdfunding platform IndieGogo. This thermometer is
offered at a price of US $ 50, or US $ 10 cheaper than the retail version. The
distribution to backers will be done around November 2015.
